The method: Double the designed load-bearing capacity via 4x4 piles and 2x6 cross pieces, assembled with carriage bolts.
The hypothesis: An ordinarily adept American male can install said carriage bolts -- slightly underwater -- while lying on his belly, manipulating a 9/16" wrench blindly behind a longitudinal stringer.
Conclusion: Under such conditions "righty-tighty, lefty-loosey" becomes quite a challenging notion.

Glad I'm not the only one!
I'm left handed, and constantly run into that conundrum.
Fortunately, I'm not very adept mechanically or carpentry-wise, so it's not an issue very often.
